Indoor Patio Makeover
by
Abbey D
We moved into a cute little house in the country last fall and when we moved in we just kind of used our indoor patio/sunroom as a dumping place for photos and wall decor, as well as shelving we didn't have a space for in our new living room. With the weather breaking, we decided it was time to spruce the space up a bit and make it more warm and inviting and a nice retreat to go to...the room has 2 doors and 6 windows and has tall vaulted ceilings and great cedar wood paneling throughout. Check out the simple makeover we did for $550 with the help of At Home Stores!!
The before was truly "BEFORE" with it being very cluttered and disheveled and really the space wasn't used at all except to dump stuff in. So sad!
Our new space is cozy, warm, inviting and offers a variety of options for seating. We LOVED the idea of a hammock chair in the corner so that we could overlook the yard and take naps with the windows open....or read a good book without being bitten up by bugs. We opted for the darker chair because we have small kids...but in a perfect world we'd have gone with white. We added the rug and pops of blue, green, and teal to the room to make it really coastal, but also give a great pop of color. The couch eventually needs a slipcover or something to make it more updated, but for the time being it does match the colors in the room.
The brick wall is one of my favorite parts of the space...it's actually the back of the house prior to the sunroom being added on and is a great focal point. We're DEBATING on painting the wall, but for the time being it will remain as is. It's hard to want to paint over something that is already kind of naturally pretty.
We still want to change out that ugly light above the wicker chair, but are still searching for the perfect idea. The curtain panels were purchased off Amazon (along with the hammock chair) and made a TREMENDOUS difference in the space. I hung them up as high as they would go so they really give the room a dreamy look.
The wicker furniture and blue side table are from At Home stores, along with most of the decor and pillows.

Have a question about this project?
I am planning a re-do of my patio too.....not as nice as yours, but LOVE the curtains. I know you said Amazon, but was there a particular phrase you used to search for those dreamy panels??
